that a good newspaper in such hands de
serves the patronage Of the people whom
II serves.

that wrought the more perfect Union,
and preserved the precious results Of the
revolution which his sword had
won. A great historian said that it

great and good a man The truth is that
the Americans have not yet found ont
how great a man Washington was When
the ages have accumulated the develop
mcnt Of Republicanism, then the world
will appreciate the courage, wisdom, and
patriotism of the man whose figure in
history marks the new era.
